Response to Kate's Entry

In response to Kate's entry on "A Few Words About Breasts," I couldn't agree more that Nora Ephron's writing is incredible. I really liked how she adds a bit of humor. She is honest and she expresses herself in a way that many people can relate to. As Kate said, it was comical how her breast size is a more difficult experience than her period. Nora backs this up by explaining that you can lie about your period but others can see your breasts. I really enjoyed this story because many girls can relate to this. Whether its breasts or not, many people have their own insecurities about themselves. I liked how she separated each memory like the story by Alice Walker. I loved how she is so honest. Especially since this is the 1950s I wouldn't expect her to be so open about her breasts. I am very surprised she was able to remain so calm after what her boyfriend's mother said to her. His mother was basically insulting her small breasts. I would have probably had a different reaction.
